VeganMoFo: A Stew in the Fall.

What better food to eat in proper fall weather than a stew? I'm soooo glad that our hot, humid summer has finally turned into mildly sunny, breezy, chilly weather! This is still Southern CA so it's not that cold but just enough nip in the air to make you want comfort food. Last year's Veganmofo on this same day the 5th of October, I made a soychorizo corn stew. Well, I decided to make it again and it was even better than I remembered! I didn't have any green pepper or eggplant so I subbed carrots and zucchini. Any squash or veggies will do really...

I put homemade roasted garlic croutons on top (crouton recipe from Veganomicon). This is a really tasty stew with a bit of spiciness from the chorizo. I had a little taster bowl for lunch and it was so warm and comforting. I'll be having more when I get home from work today.

"What do you eat?"

Why, yummy food of course! As a vegan who does not eat meat, fish, eggs and dairy, I get asked this question hundreds of times. I plan to fill the contents of this blog with the answer to that question and to prove that vegan cuisine is full of variety, flavor and abundance.
